Troll Technology (QT) Releases Scripting Language

OopChugALug writes "Troll Tech last night released a beta of QSA, which stands for QT Scripting Language for Applications. Download here. As a business apps developer for a major financial institution's trading floor, I know the traders will love this. Hopefully, with QSA, I can get rid of Excel, and give the traders Spreadsheet widgets, with the flexibility of a 'VBA-like' scriptability to boot!"

Yes, yes, very likely!

I worked for a revenue stream purchaser (the kind of people who buy lottery streams, etc). The guy who calculated everything had an Excel spreadsheet he used for it all - billions of dollars of streams. He knew about Excels quirks and bugs and he did the major calculations twice using different formula and methods to arrive at the answers. I once asked him what he did when they didn't match - and they often didn't. "Choose the one that benefits us the most" was his reply.

No wonder why they use Excel. :)
